As a dedicated manufacturer with years of expertise in industrial valve solutions, Shanghai Zhibang Valve Manufacture Co., Ltd. proudly presents our Standard Compliant API 6D Trunnion Ball Valve. Engineered for critical service in demanding pipeline applications, this valve represents our commitment to delivering reliability, safety, and uncompromising performance. We understand that in industries such as oil & gas, petrochemical, and power generation, valve failure is not an option. That's why our API 6D valve is designed from the ground up to meet the most stringent international standards, backed by complete technical documentation and comprehensive support from our engineering team.
Our valve is built to provide superior sealing performance and operational longevity in high-pressure, high-temperature environments. The trunnion-mounted ball design ensures lower operating torque and reduced seat wear compared to floating ball valves, making it the preferred choice for mainline isolation and critical applications.
Key Features & Technical Advantages:
- Robust Trunnion-Mounted Design: The ball is supported by trunnions at the top and bottom, which prevents seat load from being transferred to the ball. This design significantly reduces operating torque, minimizes wear on sealing components, and ensures reliable performance even after thousands of cycles.
- API 6D & API 6FA Compliance: Manufactured strictly in accordance with API 6D specifications for pipeline valves and API 6FA for fire testing requirements. This guarantees the valve's suitability for hydrocarbon service where safety is paramount.
-
Advanced Sealing Systems: We offer a range of seat and seal materials to suit various service conditions:
- Soft Seated (PTFE/RPTFE/PEEK): For bubble-tight shut-off in standard services.
- Metal Seated: For high-temperature, abrasive, or erosive services where soft seats would degrade.
- Fire-Safe Design: Secondary metal-to-metal seals engage in the event of a fire, maintaining a seal even if the primary polymer seats are destroyed, compliant with API 607/6FA.
- Full Bore & Reduced Bore Options: Available in full bore (full port) design for minimal pressure drop and pigging capability, or reduced bore for cost-effective solutions where flow restriction is acceptable.
-
Comprehensive Actuation Options: The valve can be equipped with various actuators to suit your automation needs:
Actuator Type Key Features Typical Applications Manual (Lever/Gear) Cost-effective, simple operation Manual bypass lines, infrequent operation Pneumatic (Double-acting/Spring-return) Fast operation, fail-safe options Remote/automated process control Electric (Motorized) Precise control, integration with control systems Precise flow modulation, SCADA integration Hydraulic High torque for large diameter valves Large pipeline valves, subsea applications - Durable Construction & Materials: We use forged or cast materials from certified mills. Common body materials include A216 WCB (Carbon Steel), A351 CF8/CF8M (Stainless Steel), and A352 LCC/LCB (Low-Temp Carbon Steel). All materials are traceable with full Material Test Reports (MTRs).
-
Complete Technical Documentation Package: Every valve ships with a comprehensive dossier that may include:
- Manufacturer's Data Report (MDR) per API 6D
- Material Certificates (MTC/MTR)
- Pressure Test Certificates (Hydrostatic, Seat Leakage)
- Dimensional Drawings
- Installation, Operation, and Maintenance Manuals
- Packing List and Certification of Compliance
Benefits for Your Operations:
- Enhanced Safety & Reliability: Compliance with API standards ensures the valve is fit for purpose in hazardous environments, protecting your assets and personnel.
- Reduced Lifecycle Cost: The robust design and quality materials lead to lower maintenance frequency, fewer replacements, and less downtime.
- Global Project Compatibility: With API 6D certification, our valves are accepted and specified for major oil & gas, refining, and pipeline projects worldwide.
- Simplified Procurement & Compliance: The full technical documentation streamlines your own quality assurance processes, audits, and regulatory submissions.
- Expert Support: Our engineering team provides pre-sale technical consultation, installation guidance, and after-sales support to ensure optimal valve performance.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Q1: What is the main difference between a trunnion-mounted ball valve and a floating ball valve?
A: In a trunnion-mounted design, the ball is fixed on a shaft (trunnion) at the top and bottom. This means the seats absorb the line pressure, not the ball, resulting in much lower operating torque, especially in high-pressure applications. Floating ball valves rely on line pressure to push the ball against the seat for sealing, which increases torque and can cause higher seat wear.
Q2: Does "API 6D compliant" mean the valve is certified by API?
A: "API 6D compliant" means the valve is designed and manufactured according to the specifications and requirements outlined in the API 6D standard. API itself does not certify individual products. Manufacturers self-declare compliance. However, reputable manufacturers like ours perform all required tests (pressure, fire, etc.) and provide full documentation to prove compliance, which is widely accepted in the industry.
Q3: Can this valve be used for sour service (H2S environments)?
A: Yes, it can be supplied for sour service. This requires specific material grades (e.g., NACE MR0175/ISO 15156 compliant materials), special heat treatment, and enhanced testing. Please specify your sour service requirements (H2S concentration, partial pressure) during inquiry so we can configure the valve accordingly.
Q4: What is included in the "full technical documentation"?
A: The documentation package typically includes a detailed Manufacturer's Data Report, material test certificates, pressure test reports (hydrostatic and seat leakage), dimensional drawings, installation and maintenance manuals, and a certificate of conformity. This package is crucial for your project records, quality audits, and operational safety.
Q5: What is the lead time for a typical order?
A: Lead time depends on the valve size, material, pressure class, and actuation requirements. For standard configurations in common sizes and materials, we often have stock or short lead times. For large, customized, or high-pressure class valves, production time is longer. We provide an accurate lead time with every quotation.
Q6: Do you offer fire-safe testing certificates?
A: Yes. Our standard fire-safe design complies with API 607/6FA. While we do not perform a fire test on every single valve, our design is qualified, and we can provide a generic fire test report from an accredited laboratory upon request for specific project requirements.
Q7: Can the valve be customized for low-temperature (cryogenic) service?
A: Absolutely. We offer valves suitable for low-temperature applications down to -46°C (-50°F) and even lower (e.g., -196°C) using appropriate materials like A352 LCB/LCC, stainless steel, or special alloys. Extended stem designs for cold box applications are also available.
Q8: What kind of after-sales support do you provide?
A: Our support includes technical assistance during installation and commissioning, guidance on operation and maintenance, availability of spare parts (seats, seals, stems), and troubleshooting advice. We aim to be a long-term partner for your valve needs.
